Wireless-G Access Point
Fragmentation Length. This specifies the maximum size a data packet will be before splitting and creating a
new packet and should remain at its default setting of 2,346. A smaller setting means smaller packets, which
will create more packets for each transmission. If you have decreased this value and experience high packet
error rates, you can increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network performance. Only minor
modifications of this value are recommended.
DTIM Interval. This value indicates how often the Access Point sends out a Delivery Traffic Indication Message.
Lower settings result in more efficient networking, while preventing your PC from dropping into power-saving
sleep mode. Higher settings allow your PC to enter sleep mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless
transmissions.
